Dear Abby: Help! My niece has gone full bridezilla

Dear Abby Help! My niece has gone full bridezilla. She brought her girlfriends to a bridal shop and, without asking about a budget, tried on gown after gown with no regard to cost. She fell in love with one that is beyond her mother's budget and demanded, 'This is my dress!'

It is common for brides-to-be to become overwhelmed with excitement when trying on wedding dresses. However, it is important to remember that the cost of a wedding dress can be a significant factor in determining the overall budget for the wedding. It is also important to communicate openly and honestly with family members about their financial contributions to the wedding.

It may be helpful for your niece to have a conversation with her mother about the cost of the dress and to consider alternative options that fit within the budget. Additionally, it may be beneficial for your niece to work with a wedding planner or stylist who can help her find a dress that fits her style and budget.

It is important to remember that the most important thing is for the bride and groom to have a happy and memorable wedding day, regardless of the cost of the dress.
